California, United States – Apple continues to strengthen its cooperation with the Indian Tata Group, one of its key partners in device manufacturing, following a cyber-attack on a Tata subsidiary that led to the leaking of sensitive files and data online.
This step comes as part of intensive measures taken by both sides to contain the fallout from the incident and ensure the security of systems linked to the supply chain.
Breach details and security response
Reports indicate that the cyber-attack targeted information systems of a company operating within Apple’s supply chain, resulting in the leakage of several internal files.
Immediately following the incident, cybersecurity teams moved to investigate the breach and assess the volume of data that may have been compromised.
